Readers find the play to be an acceptable comedy but nothing exceptional. One reviewer feels it lacks strength and impact, making it less appealing for production.

Synopsis
Frank Cook, having been taken ill with a rare complaint, has been booked into a private nursing home by his wife June for a week's respite.
Whilst there, he encounters the Reverend Paul Latimer who is recovering from a heart transplant and whose odd behaviour is beginning to alarm his wife, Sarah.
The young, attractive Tracey might provide the answer.
She is convinced that the vicar's new heart belonged to her recently deceased lover Melvin, a fairground "wall of death" rider.
Could it be that Paul has taken on Melvin's personality traits as well as his heart?3 women, 2 men
